Nelson Irrigation

Excessive water accumulation in the wheel tracks of center pivot wheels can lead to a series of challenges in agricultural operations. As water pools in these tracks, tires are prone to slipping, causing the system to slow down when navigating wet areas and steep slopes. This sluggishness disrupts the uniformity of water distribution across the field, resulting in uneven application depths in comparison to other sections. Furthermore, the deep wheel track ruts left behind can inflict wear and tear on equipment, ultimately diminishing harvesting efficiency. To combat these issues, Nelson Irrigation presents an effective solution through their Part Circle (PC) sprinklers.

Nelson's Part Circle sprinklers offer a strategic approach to preventing the formation of deep wheel track ruts. Positioned at the towers along the pivot structure, these sprinklers divert water away from the wheel tracks. This redirection minimizes excessive slippage of the tires and ensures a consistent speed of travel. The result is improved field uniformity, where each part of the field receives an equal share of irrigation, regardless of its location.

Nelson Irrigation provides a range of Part Circle options to cater to diverse agricultural needs. Choose from the PC-Rotator®, PC-Spinner, or PC-Sprayhead, all of which are available in both the 3000 Series with 3TN Nozzle and the 3030 Series with 3NV Nozzle. The 3030 Series also introduces the convenience of a universal adapter (U3030), enhancing compatibility and ease of use.

These versatile Part Circle sprinklers can be installed in various configurations to optimize their effectiveness. When positioned on Boombacks, they enhance the uniformity of water application within the part-circle area. For those opting for straight drops, careful adjustment of the sprinkler orientation is essential. When selecting the PC Rotator®, mounting it exclusively on a straight rigid drop or a hose boom is recommended, along with the use of a torque clip and side-force control fitting like the IACO Hose Boom.
